DEFENSIVE discipline will be the key for Bromsgrove Rovers in tonight's FA Cup preliminary round replay with Sutton Coldfield Town at the Victoria Ground (7.45).
Rovers drew 1-1 in Saturday's first meeting at Sutton, but manager George Rooney said: "We gave away so many silly free-kicks and it got them back into the game. We are trying to be a bit over-aggressive at times.
"That is the one thing from Saturday we would like to try and improve upon. We were the better side in the first half and they were on top after the break.
"Getting through tonight is the only thing that matters."
Rovers are expected to stick to the squad that figured on Saturday, with midfielder Jamie Turpin (hamstring) and defender Lee Millard (knee ligaments) both ruled out by injury.
It will be the third time the sides have met this season, with Rovers winning 1-0 away in the league last month.
Tonight's winners will meet Midland Alliance side Oldbury United on September 16.
Rovers (from): Gabbidon, Burrow, Ulfig, I. Cooksey, Townsend, Frost, Joinson, M. Beard, Benbow, Burgess, Sutton, J. Beard, N. Cooksey, Biddle, Willis, McWilliams.
